文献中自然地理信息的提取与分析研究——以云南地区明代古文献为例

Study on extraction and analysis of natural geographic information from ancient literature:a case study of Ming Dynasty ancient literature in Yunnan Province

记载有云南明代自然地理信息的历史文献非常丰富,包括地方志、正史、游记及文学作品。文章通过对这4类文献进行对比分析发现:云南地方志所记载的自然地理信息要明显多于其余3类历史文献。明代以后的地方志、史书及现代史料汇编类书籍可以弥补正史、游记及文学作品在自然地理信息记载上出现少而散的不足。利用ArcGIS等软件对古文献所记载的地理事物进行制图,通过分析即能得出该地理事物的空间分布特征。

The historical documents documenting the natural geographical information of Ming Dynasty in Yunnan Prov. ince are very rich, including local chronicles, official history, travel notes and literary works. This paper through the comparative analysis of these four kinds of literature, it is found that the natural geographical information recorded in Yunnan local chronicles is obviously more than the other three kinds of historical documents. The local chronicles, his. torical books and modern historical data compilation books after Ming Dynasty can make up for the deficiency of less and scattered natural geographical information records in official history, travel notes and literary works. ArcGIS and other software are used to map the geographical things recorded in ancient documents, and the spatial distribution char. acteristics of the geographical things can be obtained by analysis.
